Who doesn’t love a tasty Green juice? Green juices are filled with essential vitamins and minerals that the body can easily process. You don’t have to be a hardcore green Juice lover to enjoy a healthy, green elixir. Each green juice has a different flavor profile, some being sweeter and some just tasting like liquid salad.

If you commit to drinking a green juice or green smoothie once a day, you are one step closer to a healthier lifestyle. Roughly 50% of people break their New Years resolutions by end of January, which is why we are encouraging you to go green and continue the healthier path you started three weeks ago.

When it comes to buying green juices, though, it is important to do a little research. Any juice company can produce a green juice, but the quality and ingredients is where some companies set themselves above the rest. For instance, Naked Juice adds an incredible amount of sugar in their juices and they are typically pasteurized, meaning you aren’t getting all the healthy benefits you think you are. This is why we always encourage you to make fresh juices.

Some juice places will make fresh juices and then bottle them, meaning they have a very limited shelf life. Additionally, those juice places typically use reusable, glass juice bottles to limit environmental waste. Even though these places sell raw juices, we like making green juices at home, so that we know exactly what goes into them.
